Wolfenstein is Apparently Very Good
Share:
One of the many major games releasing this month is Wolfenstein 2: The New Colossus. We covered it a few times, from its first trailer at E3 this year, to the ‘controversial’ marketing campaign it led. The game will see the return of The New Order protagonist, BJ Blaskowicz, going back to America, to liberate the land of the free from the Nazis.
It’s pretty wild, but like most big games that come out, is it any good?
Well, these people seem to think so.
GameSpot: ‘You’re never given a chance between cutscenes, missions, and even downtime on the U-boat to lose sight of the Reich’s cruelty. Wolfenstein’s tense gameplay elevates this further by giving you the power to truly resist–and come out of each battle ready for another fight.’
Polygon: ‘It’s the rare first-person shooter that explores the first time its hero pulled a trigger; it’s the rare first-person shooter that is comfortable connecting with the primal, untamed parts of your brain while celebrating just how b**ping good it feels to lay out a Nazi.’
Game Informer: ‘Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus is a bold game that rages and soars, deftly balancing pulp sci-fi with deadly seriousness and one that should not be missed by anyone interested in the power of storytelling in video games.’
US Gamer: ‘It’s an empowering journey that BJ goes on–rising from his near-death experience from The New Order to be stronger than ever, befriending others who are just as tough and ready to take back what the Nazis stole from them: their country.’
PC Games N: If you want a good shooter, play Wolfenstein 2. If you want an incredible single-player story, play Wolfenstein 2.
Nice.
Wolfenstein 2 is currently available for Xbox One, PS4 and PC.
Happy hunting.
